Los ANGELES, August 3d.-The EreHinq Erorcss
details mammoth enterprise 10 make better
grape market throughout California and the
United States, and extend the market for Cali
fornia wine TO Europe. 1t is proposed to estab-
lish al least two mammoth ust-condensers in
this State on the cooperative plan one here
and the other at or near san Francisco, the
machinery OF which is to cost fifty thousand
dollars. 4 company has been organized with a
million dollars capital The principal movers
are Fred. w. Sharon and c. W. Howard
of san Francisco, and /. W. Hellman and J De
Barth Shorb, of this city. II is claimed that the
product of the must condensers will keep four
years, and make even better wine at the end of
that time. Each machine has a capacity of
eighty tons per day. This viii make a better
market and much better price for grapes all
over California. The condensed product can be
shipped to Europe in casks or barrels elaret
grapes to be used chiefly. The leading feature
is that the must product can be put down in
Europe without cent of duty.

The policy to be adopted is to employ natives

nothing rash, and will allow the marriage to

The fSentiles JubiIant Over Their In

SALT LAKE, August Sd-Returns from the
general election on Monday are nearly all in
the registered vote. In the close districts the
Mormons cast as high as 9S per cent. of theil
registration. The Gentiles elect five member
of the Legislature, two from this city, two from
the mining town of Park City, and one from
the district including the mining camps OF
Stockton, Ophir, Bingham and 1intie. The
MOrnons elect 81 members OF the Legislature
The light vote is due to the jiisfrauchisemcnt
of poygamists and women, and 20 the refusal
Of many Mormons and Gentiles to take the test
oath prescribed by the Act of Congress. The
Mormons almost unanimously voted for the
anti-polygamy State Constitution, while the
Gentiles refrained from voting on the PROPOSE
ton. The Gentiles are jubilunt over the devel-
Opment OF so much unexpected strength. and
